Dusty Score!

I'd given up on going to dusties, since no salon would ever sell to me. And the local beauty supplies that weren't Sally Beauty had nothing of interest.

My best friend told me about a nail salon that was close to her house. It wasn't just a salon. It was a nail salon within a beauty supply. A dusty within a dusty. So I went.

And I scored.

$4 per bottle since they were used. But they are all 90% full or more! Hell yes!

I need to go back, since I saw some other China Glaze holos that I have been dying for. I had to keep these babies in my purse and stare at them to make sure that I, in fact, was not dreaming!

Now all I need is some sun to try these beauties out!

In A Rut

I made two new frankens today. I'm not too happy with them. I'm not sure why, exactly, but they're just not how I envisioned them. Part of me thinks that it's because I told myself  "I WILL franken today!" and kind of forced these frankens out of myself. Another part of me thinks that I was just high off fumes because I was making some polishes to send out and wasn't used to the scent anymore haha.

The other part of me just thinks I'm still cranky because I watched the Rangers get stomped on in Game 1 of the ALDS. It's probably a mixture of all three. I'll sleep on it and see how I feel about them tomorrow.

Oh, and about the franken in my last post...the loose copper glitter I used bled, so now the polish is murky and the glitter is now silver. *flips a table*

Luckily, I found a replacement glitter that I already know won't melt or bleed in polish. If only I'd found it sooner. Such is the world of a frankener.

Anyway, here's a NOTD:

China Glaze Skyscraper from their Metro collection. It's a beautiful navy blue loaded with silver glitter. I decided to add some little silver crystal stars I bought from a local beauty supply as an accent on one nail. It wasn't until after I had put topcoat over them that I realized how patriotic this mani ended up looking haha.

I may post pictures of my unloved frankens from today a little later. We'll see how I feel about them. hopefully I end up liking them, as I really don't feel like cleaning out any more bottles. I could honestly pay someone to do it for me.
